NUGTDDirexion Daily Gold Miners Index Bull 2X ETF

WXCCorgi All World 2x Daily ETF

In short

NUGT Gold miners with the volume turned up. NUGT aims for 200% of the daily move of the MarketVector Global Gold Miners Index, a veteran way to press a view on mining shares without margin or an options account.

WX No data

Stated mandate

NUGT The fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the performance of the MarketVector Global Gold Miners Index.

WX No data

Why people hold it

  • NUGT One ticker, 2x daily exposure to a global gold-miners index. No margin account, no options chain, no borrow to arrange.direxion.com
  • Trading since 2010, making it one of the longest-running leveraged miner funds around. It has traded through several full gold cycles.
  • Actively traded and among the better-traded names in the leveraged cohort, which matters for a tool built to be entered and exited quickly.
  • The index reaches globally, not just US-listed miners, so the basket follows where the gold digging actually happens.

WX No data

Worth knowing

  • NUGT Leverage resets daily. Hold longer than a day and results can drift well away from 2x the index's move over that stretch, especially in choppy markets.
  • At 1.13% a year, the fee runs above the typical leveraged fund's, and it applies whichever way gold moves.
  • Doubling a mining index puts this among the more volatile funds even inside a leveraged peer group. Position size does the heavy lifting here.
